The Effect of a Multispecies Probiotic on Reducing the Incidence of Antibiotic-associated Diarrhoea in Children.

Antibiotic-associated Diarrhea Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effect of a Multispecies Probiotic on Reducing the Incidence of Antibiotic-associated Diarrhoea in Children.

Clinical Trial Summary

In this trial, the investigators aim to assess the effectiveness of a multispecies probiotic consisting of 2 strains of Bifidobacterium (B. bifidum W23, B. lactis W51) and 6 strains of Lactobacillus (L. acidophilus W37, L. acidophilus W55, L. paracasei W20, L. plantarum W62, L. rhamnosus W71, and L. salivarius W24) in reducing the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea in a group of children undergoing antibiotic therapy for common infections.

Clinical Trial Description

Certain individual probiotic strains have been proven to be effective in reducing the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD). However, the effects of using multispecies probiotics remain unclear. The investigators aim to assess the effectiveness of a specific multispecies probiotic preparation (Ecologic AAD Kids) in reducing the incidence of AAD in children. In this trial, a total of 350 children aged 3 months to 18 years, undergoing antibiotic treatment, will be randomly allocated to receive either a multispecies probiotic consisting of 2 strains of Bifidobacterium (B. bifidum W23, B. lactis W51) and 6 strains of Lactobacillus (L. acidophilus W37, L. acidophilus W55, L. paracasei W20, L. plantarum W62, L. rhamnosus W71, and L. salivarius W24) at a total dose of 10^10 colony-forming units daily, or a placebo, from the first day of antibiotic treatment until 7 days after antibiotic cessation. The primary outcome measure will be the incidence of AAD, defined as ≥3 loose or watery stools (a score of A on the Amsterdam Infant Stool Scale for children younger than 1 year and a score of 5-7 on the Bristol Stool Form scale for children older than 1 year) in 24 hours, caused either by Clostridium difficile or of otherwise unexplained aetiology (after testing for common diarrhoeal pathogens), occurring during and/or up to 7 days after the end of the antibiotic therapy. ;
